We are going to develop a scientific method using the following steps:

  1. Define the problem.
  2. Ask scientific questions.
  3. Collaborate with your team.
  4. Design an investigation to look into the questions,
  5. Research background information
  6. Conduct an experiment - including collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data
  7. Draw conclusions based on the evidence you have collected,
  8. Present your work and get feedback from other students, teachers, and possibly interested community groups.
